Dig
- Syntax:
dig <direction>
Help File
You can dig and bury items through the use of the dig skill and bury command. Buried items are not visible to players, even through the use of spells such as locate object. To dig an item up, type dig with no arguments. Having a shovel raises your chances of success. If you dig in a direction, you will attempt to dig open an exit. To bury an item: drop the item on the ground and bury <item>. Depending on the size and weight of the object, you may need a shovel. Items buried will not last beyond crash or reboot. Do not attempt to use this skill for storage of items you wish to keep.
Information
This skill can be used to uncover objects or entrances that are buried, regardless of whether they reset that way or have been buried by another player using the bury command. If the player holds a shovel in their inventory while they dig, the chances of succeeding become near-perfect. Standard digging (i.e. not trying to dig out an exit) can only be done in outdoor sectors, not cities and things.
